A calm 8-minute morning routine of deep breathing, QiGong body tapping, stretching and a final moment of stillness.
Pamela Reif shares the routine she uses to start her mornings, in four steps: slow, deep breathing, QiGong-inspired body tapping and shaking to wake up circulation, stretching with spinal twists and shoulder and hip openers, and a closing moment of stillness. It runs about 9 minutes and needs no equipment.
Equipment setup
